Hi there,

Recently I've started learning PHP + MySql. Now I've come to a point where I need to send mail via the built in mail() function. Since I don't have any domain name + server combination (well, I'm going to get one in the future) I do everything locally now.
Currently I have MAMP as my PHP + MySQL installation, which has no built in mailserver. After having searched a bit in google I've come to a conclusion that there should be a installation of postfix included in osX. Up to this moment I haven't managed to find any, however. Can anyone help?
 
Well, seems I've figured out what was wrong there. The folder where postfix is in by default is hidden (since it's stored in /etc folder which is also hidden). Had to access /etc first to be able to find postfix.
MailServe is a solution here as well, but I prefer doing everything myself :)
P.S.
MAMP Pro has also a built-in postfix configurator.
